Confidential Settlement

Terry McCartney and Hunter Shkolnik recently settled this multi-defendant case on the eve of trial. The case, which was covered in the national media extensively, involved claims against the manufactures and sellers of numerous dietary supplements as well as a personal trainer and the gym where he worked.

We represented the family of a fashion designer and young mother who died from a hemorrhagic stroke while exercising with her personal trainer after taking several different dietary supplements he had recommended (including ephedra and yohimbine). Despite an underlying hypertensive condition, the lack of an autopsy or direct proof of ingestion, we successfully opposed seven different motions for summary judgment and the case was set for trial when a global settlement was reached.
